WARNING
•
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly poison, which, when
breathed, deprives the body of oxygen and causes suffocation. Exposure to
air containing carbon monoxide produces symptoms of headache, dizziness,
loss of muscular control, apparent drowsiness, and coma.
•
Carbon monoxide occurs in exhaust fumes of internal combustion engines.
Carbon monoxide can become dangerously concentrated under conditions of
inadequate ventilation. Take the following safety precautions when operating
the vehicle:
•
DO NOT operate engine in enclosed areas.
•
DO NOT idle engine without adequate ventilation.
•
Be alert for exhaust poisoning symptoms. They are:
•
Headache
•
Dizziness
•
Sleepiness
•
Loss of muscular control
•
If you see another person with exhaust poisoning symptoms:
•
Remove person from area.
•
Expose to fresh air.
•
Keep person warm.
•
DO NOT permit physical exercise.
•
Administer Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), if necessary.
•
Notify a medic.
•
Be aware. The field protective mask for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and
Nuclear (CBRN) protection will not protect you from carbon monoxide
poisoning.
•
The best defense against carbon monoxide poisoning is good ventilation!
•
Failure to comply may result in personnel injury or death.
